Just received it today. The instructions said to wait at least an hour before turning it on so it was several hours before I actually tried it out. It immediately started making ice. The large size is not too big so that's the size I have so far. It's been working almost 3 hours and I've dumped the tray twice already. I am very pleased with it so far.

Nice counter size. Looks stylish. Not to noisey. It does make a very small amount of ice every 6-8 minutes which is great only problem is once the ice bucket is full it starts to melt back into water reserve so doesn't hold ice like a freezer ice machine. You will have to have a place in your freezer to store the ice and place it into that freezer container every hour or so otherwise the ice machine stops making ice once the ice machine bucket is full or until it melts into reserve. Hope this is helpful. I love it but it's work to store up large amount of ice.

Perfect for households using lots of ice

This ice maker is performing just as advertised and after one week of making ice almost constantly we have been pleased with it's operation. I would like to see a larger ice size (the large size is fairly small) but really that's not so important, the option would be nice. Very fast, clean and perfect counter top size.

Nice Product

This is a nice ice maker for the money. I would've preferred that it have a larger capacity level though as I feel like I am constantly emptying out ice from it into the freezer since the container is so small. You dont want to leave the ice in the actual ice maker as it doesnt seem to stay cold enough so the ice it produces will melt back into the water reservoir and the process will start all over again.

Question:

can I use flavored waters or juices to make ice cubes?

-
deb h.
on
05-15-2014

Answer:

The manufacturer does not recommend using flavored water or juices to make ice cubes. Due to the level of sugars, it can cause the water pump & water filter to clog. If you do decide to run a cycle of flavored cubes, make sure to run a cycle of clean water to remove any left over juice.

-
CustomerServiceSTAFF
on
05-15-2014

Answer:

I don't think acidic juices would be a good idea as they might damage the pump or the fingers that the ice forms on.. but I don't see why non acidic juices or water would hurt..really not a bad idea!

-
Paul B.
on
05-15-2014

Answer:

I see no reason why not - you put the water in the machine and it produces the cubes. I see no reason flavored water could not be used.

What kind of ice does it produce, soft ice or solid cubes?

-
brandy b.
on
05-20-2014

Answer:

It makes bullet size round cubes with a hole in the middle, they around 1/2 in. they are very easy to chew so they are pretty soft but solid and round, they are just right if you like to eat ice, it does not hurt your teeth, I hope this will help, I just love mine and use everyday and have not had any problems yet.

-
Dixie D.
on
05-21-2014

Answer:

I'd say that it's about half & half ~ they are almost what you'd call a bullet shape, two different sizes but if you then put them in the freezer they are more solid.

-
VICKI N.
on
05-21-2014

Answer:

My avalon bay ice maker produces ice tubes like the large ones in restaurants, with a hole in the center. The ice is much smaller, however it produces nine tubes every 12 to 15 minutes. I like the smaller tubes as it makes your drink cold faster .

-

-
Peggy B.
on
05-20-2014

Answer:

It does 2 sizes of cubes with holes in the center. I am not sure what soft ice, but I wouldn't call these soft ice just the whole in the center from the pins it forms on. It is a very nice productive ice maker.

-
Patrice K.
on
05-20-2014

Answer:

This ice maker produces solid hard cubes that have holes through the center of the cube which aides in the cooling of the liquid quickly. You have the option of selecting the ice cube size, small or large. It should be fairer to say, small or minature sizes. This machine does not produce cubes as large as the ones you would get from a refridgerator ice maker. This is a portable ice maker and it does make cubes very quickly. It cycles new cubes about every 15 minutes and makes a lot of cubes at a time for several drinks. I use the machine in my garage to keep my drinks cold. It would be ideal for any remote area that has power available. I keep a couple of liters of water available to refill the machine when needed. It will indicate when it needs water or when the ice cube tray is full. I am happy so far with the Avalon Bay portable ice maker.

Answer:

You need to transfer ice to the freezer. It will melt in the machine.

-
Sandra B.
on
11-19-2014

Answer:

I use this ice machine while working in my detached garage and use it for keeping my drinks cold, but when I am done working outside, I turn the machine off. It fills up the compartment with ice and if you don't remove any ice it shuts itself off until you remove some ice and then it starts to make ice again to fill the tray up. It makes nice small separate cubes, not like a top freezer with ice cube trays or an auto ice maker. It basically makes cubes as you need them because it cycles about every 15 minutes but doesn't make big batches of ice like for storing them somewhere. The ice compartment only holds about a cup of ice. You have to fill it with water manually and it only holds about a quart of water. It is a nice little ice maker for making drinks or keeping small items cold. It indicates when it needs water or when the ice compartment is full. I hope this helps.

Terri H.
on
11-19-2014

You can do either. If you leave it in the machine, it will slowly melt but will be made into new ice. If you want it to keep making new or more ice, you can move it to a freezer.

Kim E.
on

Answer:

The machine does act as a freezer, so the ice is always melting and is refrozen. If you want to store ice for any length of time you will need to bag it and put it in a freezer

-
Patrice K.
on
11-19-2014

Answer:

You can keep it in the machine for a period of time but the basket the ice falls into and the area around it are not cold so it does slowly melt. I have actually done both and we use our machine all of the time!
